Elegant Banff Weddings

It is my pleasure to write this review of Elegant Banff Occasions, an event planning company based in breathtaking Banff, Alberta, Canada. My new husband and I enjoyed an amazing wedding weekend with our family and friends this past July, in large part thanks to the planning excellence of EBO. Since our wedding, so many people have told us that ours was the best wedding they have every been to. I was particularly impressed with EBO because I was planning the wedding from afar (I was living in Toronto at the time), but still always felt like everything was being taken care for me. EBO is headed by Connie Grace, one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and reliable people I have ever worked with. There are so many vulnerabilities when planning a wedding (emotional, aesthetic, financial!), but I always felt that Connie had my (as opposed to any vendor's) best interests at heart. I was also blown away time and time again by two things. First, Connie and the rest of the EBO team made me feel like they were planning my wedding and my wedding alone, even though in reality I know they had a million other things going on. Second, so often Connie would have anticipated some request of mine before I had made it and would already have a solution in mind when I asked. For example, before I even thought of hair and makeup, she had already booked us in at the luxurious Willow Stream Spa at the Banff Springs Hotel. Before I even started thinking about transportation, she had a Bentley on hold. Small acts like this go beyond efficiency and professionalism to the realm of true passion for what EBO does and compassion for those they work with. In the end, our wedding was a literal feast for the senses - the colors, the decor, the flowers, the music, the food (!) - and every where was a little piece of EBO. For this we are both truly thankful and cannot recommend EBO enough. If you are thinking about getting married in the Canadian Rockies - DO IT!! The scenery is unbelievable, the venues and food are exquisite, and with EBO on your side, you and your guests will enjoy a wedding beyond your wildest dreams!

Connie was an absolute joy to work with. She offered great ideas and had numerous contacts throughout Canmore/Banff. We worked with her for 6 months planning our wedding and was able to accommodate our tight budget. We had to keep track of our budget so just know that going into it. At the end of the day, I felt that she really cared about me and the vision we were wanted to create.
